My friend with the .40 and .357Sig barrels for his G20 just runs the stock 10mm mags without any problems.

Having seen too many soldiers killed in too many stupid accidents during my time in the Army (admittedly, a time when the accidental death rate was much higher than now), I would be worried about any weapon without a manual safety being made general issue as well.
Now Glock could, and has, put a manual safety on a G19 . . . .
However, in the end, with the administration dedicated to pushing defense spending down to just about 2% of GDP, I don't think we are going to see anything but well-worn M9's for decades to come.
As for the JSOC and Socom units, they will get the money to buy what they need, but if they shoot Glocks I'd expect them to keeping heading to 9mm's, if they shoot SIGs, I think those will stay 9mm, and if they use 1911's or H&K .45(c)'s, I imagine that those will stay in the inventory for a while but that normal usage will be 9mm.
I have been doing a little research, but haven't really found an answer. I don't think my question warrants it's own thread, so I thought I would ask it here.
Have the latter gen4 G22 fixed the issues that have been mentioned in this thread ?
I ask because I have an opportunity to buy a new(ish) production G22 for a good price, and I am wondering whether it's worth a buying or not.

My quick answer is that if you get it at a good price and it is not an early Gen 4, and if you mainly shoot 180 gr. loads through it, you probably won't regret it. Some early Gen 4's had lots of problems, of course, and hot loads and .40 cal. Glocks don't seem to be a good combination. Even then, though, there are folks who fire nothing but hot loads and haven't and any problems with their particular pistols.
Thanks, I will mainly be running factory ammo and the odd reload.
I'm not interested in hotroding it.
